I just found this wonderful blog this quite Sunday afternoon at my desk while I caught up with life lost. If you love art and illustration please read this blog by David Apatoff.I quit buying comics in Knoxville because I was tired of the snarky remarks and the looks from snot-nosed emo UT kids. I used to play Magic there, which I really got into because my ID professor illustrated a couple of cards and I thought the art was great along with the whole Stratego type of play. Then these same kids with thousand dollar card sets would win every time. So Mr. Apatoffs story really hit home. I'm still a big kid, as I write this I'm watching Sponge Bob and fixing to open my new Sea-Monkeys. I am getting off track here, just read a really great blog that just might make you think too…

Trailer Trash

The title of my blog is a quote from the late great George Burns. I love comedy, from Burns and Martin to Rock and Apatow. I'm a lowbrow artist from parents with a Bauhaus background, although we were still trailer trash. I grew up in Florida living between St. Pete and Weeki Wachee Springs. All the time around beautiful mermaids. These women are full figured visions of heaven. Along with all the roadside dino style gas stations, teepee motels and greasy spoons, its no wonder I love pin-up and lowbrow with all my heart. At forty six years old I have come to embrace who I am. God it feels good. Having been out of the design and modeling industry for a few years, it feels nice to design just for fun. I recently found out about ATC's and stamping along with post cards and journals. I find that most sites are mostly women, but that's alright. I don't mind if they don't. I will try to share things I have learned or that make me laugh or are insightful, but most of the time it will be things I find shiny or sexy or both…
